Did anyone happen to catch Stossel's segment the other night on SR and how they are trying to outlaw BTCs. I thought it was hilarious, Any thoughts, comments?

Missed it. When did it air?
-
Ah, I found it. It was Jan 3 on my cable.

Yesterday, it;s every Thursday on fox business, I highly recommend you try and watch it, it was my favorite episode yet, for obvious reasons lol.

Just watched it. Stossel's guest says that SR takes power away from government and gives it back to the people. Stossel then concludes that "of course Silk Road is a good thing." Love that guy.
Thanks for the heads up on that.

I guess it's worth mentioning that Stossel advocates legalizing drunk driving.

I believe that is a libertarian view? Somewhere on the forums I saw it named as such and that the reasoning had something to do with the fact that stopping the people who can safely drive drunk is an annoyance/something to that effect, when the only problem are the people who crash?
I'm sure I'm remembering that wrong, though. It sounds far to biased against legalizing drunk driving, and I'm certain I was reading it from a libertarian stand-point.

DUI laws and increased penalties seem to be pretty effective. The number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities dropped from 21,000 to 10,800 between 1981 and 2009, and we have more people driving more miles today. I have no problem with an "annoyance" that saves 10,000 lives a year.

You're taking what he said completely out of context.
